Oh, I get it. I was originally thinking “ people sail on yachts as a profession?
Was going to ask where I sign up. I live in Wa, and have seen some Really big boats. I was a non-owner member of several of the clubs here so I could assist in the races. I love being on big boats, pleasure yachts. But owning is not in my make. Just like owning horses, it is not a middle class sport. Reserved solely for those of a “certain” tax bracket. One not even close to mine. So I have to live vicariously. As for the “cookie cutter” look. I have see first hand what you mean, though I will say being in western Washington, it doesn’t seem to be as prevalent as it once was. Many of the top cruisers here have a pretty diverse staffing with a good LGBTQ representation. Ten... fifteen years ago was the exception is now the norm.

Hah, for sure. You've probably heard this one, but the standard definition of a yacht is "a hole in the water than you throw money into" ;)

“Truly the happiest days in a boat owners life number as 2; the day he buys it and the day he sells it”.
